    Past Teaching Activities


    During my activity, I was assistant of the courses of ''Fondamenti di Informatica 1'' (Basics of computer science) and Artificial Intelligence. For AI, I was also co-author with prof. Daniele Nardi of a set of notes on functional and logic languages. Additionally, I gave several seminars on state estimation, in the courses of AI and Vision and Perception.
    During and after the PhD, I advised several master thesis whose contents were often published in international conferences or workshops.
    Currently I am professor of ``Tecniche di Programmazione'' (Programming Techniques), in ``La Sapienza''. The course has approximately 80 students, and lasts for 3 months.


    This is the history:
    • Professor of Tecniche di Programmazione , 2007/01-2007/04 ``La Sapienza'', 5 credits, approx. 80 students
    • Tutor for Intelligenza Artificiale , Summer 2006. ``La Sapienza'', 5 credits, approx 70 students.
    • Tutor for Fondamenti di Informatica 1, Fall 2004 ``La Sapienza'', 5 credits, approx 70 students.
    • Tutor for Intelligenza Artificiale, spring 2004 ``La Sapienza'', 10 credits, approx 70 students.
    • Tutor for Fondamenti di Informatica Fall 2003 ``La Sapienza'', 10 credits, 100 students.
